Nightmare (The Game of Time and Value)

This assemblage stages a collision between heritage and speculation: a sepia architectural palimpsest—bridges, ladders, and faintly hovering heads—reads like memory under restoration, while the crisp, modern overlays insist on measurement and trade. The 1832 coin and the knight chess piece become twin emblems of power—one minted, one maneuvered—set against a rising graph that converts history into volatility. By compressing pictorial depth into a flat, data-driven plane, the work suggests how the past is repeatedly “valued” anew: not only revered, but strategized, priced, and re-animated as a game of ascent and risk.
